Overview
With the campus Network Modernization project, we're happy to introduce Mines-Personal private pre-shared key (PPSK) networks for residents living in *most campus residence halls and Mines Park. With your own personal access code issued to you during move-in, you can safely join your various technology gear to a private wireless network.
*Please note: older Mines Park residence halls have not yet received network upgrades and do not support the PPSK network. The older Mines Park residence halls are scheduled to be updated in the summer of 2026.
The Mines-Personal Network is for Gaming and Streaming Devices in Residence Halls
The Mines-Personal network is intended for use in residence halls ( for gaming and streaming devices that require a key-based login and don't have a web-browser to connect to a wi-fi network such as Mines-Guest.
Example devices:
- Xbox
- Smart TV
- Amazon Alexa
How Do I Connect My Academic Computer or Cell Phone For Everyday Internet Use?
For regular internet access on your phone or personal computer in your dorm or on campus, you'll either connect to the Mines or Mines-Legacy wireless networks.
Receiving your PPSK key for the Mines-Personal network for streaming devices:
During move-in, keep an eye out for the mail from "Extreme Networks <no-reply@extremecloudiq.com>" titled "Login Credentials". That email has your access key to your Mines-Personal network space:
With your access key, you can join your devices to Mines-Personal -- it will prompt you for just the access key (or "password"), you will *NOT* need to enter your campus email address as it will not prompt you for a username.
